ACSchools Transportation Director SurveyAll Stakeholders (Students, Parents, Staff and Community Members) are invited to complete a brief online survey to provide input to aid in the selection of the next Anderson County Schools Transportation Director.

Over the past month, school safety has become one of the largest trending topics in our nation. Recent tragedies, coupled with the alarming nationwide trend of threats made by students, have set our country on edge and have placed a magnifying glass on school safety procedures.

In this day and age, when a student makes a threatening statement of any kind, school administrators must take it seriously. We take all threats seriously whether the intent is to harm or to prank, causing disruption and fear - both are unacceptable. There is no difference in how the investigation is handled.

At approximately 10:25am, Emma B. Ward elementary was placed on soft lockdown as a precautionary measure due to a report of a threatening message written in a bathroom.
